Description

This paper contains the second part of our systematic investigation of the weak-coupling limit of SU(2) lattice gauge theory, using the semiclassical approximation. We study the flow of solutions close to the subspace of spatially constant fields (''extreme infrared'') and establish the existence of a dense cobweb of caustics in the region of very small fields. The origin of these caustics are oscillations of neighboring classical solutions around each other
